The free check uses the same question style and explanations as the course.

The WPQ2 exam puts D1.1 and B2.1 on screen with word search off, so finding the clause fast is the skill. Start with a free 10-question check, every miss explained.

Before you start: allow about 30 minutes, and have your own D1.1 and B2.1 copies open. Each question points you to a clause, and the code text is not on this site.

Every question is original and written to American Welding Society's published content outline.

Practice test FAQ

How long is the free 10-question check?

The free check has 10 questions, is untimed and takes about 30 minutes. You see the answer and explanation after each question. It is a short study check, rather than a full-length exam simulation.

Is this a free CWI practice test for every part?

Choose Part A for fundamentals, Part B for the practical, or Part C on D1.1, D1.5 or API 1104. Already a CWI or SCWI? The WPQ2 endorsement has its own check too. Each has its own free check and outline. Part B questions send you into the Book of Specifications, as the exam does, and every miss is explained so you know where to look next time.

Is the 10-question check free?

Yes. You can start the check and see your score and weakest domain for free, with no signup or payment. Your score in each domain unlocks when you add your email.

Where does the practice content come from?

Every question is original and written to AWS's published outline. Treat the results as a starting point for study.

How is the check scored?

Practice items are grouped by the published outline's domains, subject to available questions. The check weights domain results using the configured published outline weights. This practice percentage helps set study priorities; it does not predict your exam score or certification outcome.

What do I see after finishing?

You get your score, the published pass mark and how many more correct answers would reach it, your weakest domain and what the WPQ2 endorsement course holds for it. Add your email to see your score in each domain and get a free study plan.

How should I use the result to study?

Start with your weakest domain. The WPQ2 endorsement course has lessons, explained practice questions and timed exams on it.
